Context Source

The context source is one of the data sources of a data view. Data views with this data source get their object from the context, which can be one of two things:

A surrounding data container such as a data view or list view — in this case, the entity (path) property should be an entity path following the associations from the entity of the container

The object that is passed to the page when opening it (for example, another page passing the selection of a grid or a microflow passing an object from the show page action)

Properties

Entity (Path)

The entity (path) property specifies the entity that will be shown in the data view. For a top-level data view it is simply an entity. In this case, the opener of the page supplies the object that will be shown. A nested data view has an entity path that follows associations from the enclosing data container.
